If that was the case then we would all be vegetarian or at the very least succumb to free range and organic proteins only. The commercial poultry and beef business makes the small artisan Foie Gras operation look like a tofu plant. Chickens breaking their legs due to hormones, etc.

Fri, 13 Jul 2012 14:25:42 +0000http://www.drvino.com/?p=11166#comment-391245I really wonder if the PETA folks have ever been to a Foie farm? It’s not forced stuffings and caged animals that are waiting for their liver to explode.

The government influence is unreal. Cigarettes are legal but Foie Gras is not? If the wine biz wasn’t such a large part of the Banana Republic economy of the state, I wouldn’t be surprised if groups got the state to listen to prohibition talks.

I am in LA this week and have heard from restaurants that they can give it away but not charge for it. ($20 brioche toast with blueberry compote and here is your side of complimentary butter and Foie gras…)

And as for Foie gras i can take or leave it. But my concern is the looniness of the left coast will actually surface in a civilized part of the country and we’ll have more government interference in our lives. Where does it end? If people are allowed to vote with their feet and not buy the product it would solve itself, but not where the self absorbed judgemental Californicators are involved.
